Hungry Horrors, the innovative roguelite deckbuilder from the UK-based Clumsy Bear Studio, is set to redefine the genre with a unique twist: instead of battling monsters, you'll be cooking for them. The game has just released its first playable demo, available on Steam, Itch, and GOG, offering gamers a taste of what's to come.

Following its PC debut, Clumsy Bear Studio plans to bring Hungry Horrors to mobile and console platforms. Although an official release date has yet to be announced, fans can dive into the demo now. The developers have been actively engaging with the community, showcasing the game at events like the London Game Festival 2025.

The Steam demo provides a robust preview of the game, featuring two handcrafted biomes, six hungry monsters to serve, two boss fights, and four NPCs for interaction. Additionally, there are non-combat zones like the Nook and the Trove, where players can regroup and refine their culinary strategies.

More About Hungry Horrors

In Hungry Horrors, you step into the shoes of a princess tasked with preparing traditional British and Irish dishes to appease folklore creatures. The game ingeniously combines deckbuilding mechanics with culinary arts, offering a uniquely entertaining experience.

The game's retro pixel art and gothic atmosphere are complemented by its humorous approach to cooking. Players will whip up dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan, aiming to satisfy the peculiar tastes of creatures like Jenny Greenteeth, the blood-thirsty swamp witch, and Black Annis, the child-snatching hag with iron claws. Fail to meet their culinary expectations, and you might end up as their next meal!

As you navigate the game, you'll uncover the preferences and aversions of legendary beings like Grendel and Redcap. Some may crave sweet treats, while others might recoil at the mere sight of fish. The deckbuilding aspect adds a strategic layer, where players must combine ingredients and utilize utensils, spices, and herbs to enhance their dishes, balancing flavor profiles and planning meals carefully.

Progressing through the game unlocks new recipes, ingredients, legendary artifacts, and rescued familiars. For a deeper dive into Hungry Horrors, visit their Steam page.
